Face it… Fan-girls and boys, love Hellboy. And really, what's not to love? A red-skinned, snarky, Nazi-hating demon, which fights for and with, the good guys.

Hotel Mumbai

(Alyn Darnay) 3/28/2019 2:33 PM EST
I have always found films about India to be fascinating. Probably because India is a place of mystery, magic, philosophy, and hidden secrets. A place so big and filled with so many people that you get the feeling that anything could happen at any moment; and it did in the most terrifying way in 2008. That's when the members of the "Lashkar-e-T... Read More

In 1941 Aquaman was introduced in a backup feature of the DC comics. Over the years he was more of a minor character in the DC Universe even though he is part of the Justice League. In the past, he was drawn as a blonde haired, fair skinned pretty boy who rode a seahorse. He was taken very seriously over the years even in the Saturday m... Read More

What if one day you were a fourteen-year-old kid and the next you were a male superhero in his thirties? How would you handle it? Would you be freaking out? What if you obtained those powers from an ancient wizard? Imagine you could switch back and forth between adult and teenager by just uttering one simple word – Shazam! I... Read More
